The neck is one of the main signs that indicates the actual age of an individual. You can achieve perfect youthful proportions of the face, but if you do not take care of the skin on the neck, then everything will be in vain. Wrinkles, breaks, sagging skin on your neck will still tell others that you are far from being 18 or even 25!
Therefore, the neck is the area that needs to be cared for in combination with the rejuvenation of the facial skin. When all is said and done, the skin on the neck is very thin, it has a minimum number of sebaceous glands, so age-related changes often appear on it much earlier than on the face.
In addition, the female neck has fewer melanocytes (cells that protect the skin from more harmful ultraviolet rays), which means that it undergoes more active light aging.
What is recommended to keep the skin in this sensitive area in perfect condition?
Injection methods to renew the neck
As soon as the skin on the neck begins to thin, dry, wrinkle, it is immediately necessary to fill it with hyaluronic acid. This is done as follows:
- introduction of fillers based on natural hyaluronic acid;
- with the help of skin rejuvenation by injection (Biorevitalization, Mesotherapy).
To regenerate the cervical region, specially designed low-density gels are usually used. Although liquid preparations usually dissolve faster, this does not apply to the throat. Here, more liquid fillers form the silhouette better, retain a beautifully filled shape, look natural and last a long time - at least a year. At the same time, after the operation, the rehabilitation period is not required - modern fillers cause almost no edema and other unwanted side effects.
Completely tightens the skin on the neck and fillers of the new generation, which begin the process of producing their own collagen. For example, an innovative Dutch filler.
The effect of this filler in tissues is comparable to the effect of thread installation, as the composition of both the injectable filler and modern threads contains such a component as caprolactone. This is a fully biodegradable soft medical stitch that has been used in medicine for decades with great results. In other words, the filler works mainly to harden the tissue.
This filler does not absorb moisture, so it does not cause swelling. Due to these unique properties, it can be used on such sensitive areas as eyes, lips, neck, décolleté. Stimulates the production of type 1 collagen, which creates the effect of velvety smooth skin and excellent lifting.
The drug strengthens the collagen frame and has a life-strengthening effect, which makes the skin more elastic and toned.
High-quality carrier gel eliminates the "transport" of the implant and ensures complete predictability and stability of the outline of the contour. This is a biodegradable filler, ie it is completely excreted from the body at the end of the expiration date.
For complex skin restructuring, procedures such as Biorevitalization and Mesotherapy are recommended.
Biorevitalization is a micro-injection into the skin with hyaluronic acid mixtures. The method quickly restores water balance and normalizes skin metabolism.
Hyaluronic acid that is not from the animal kingdom is used during operations. Once in the skin, it is broken down into simple parts, where its own hyaluronic acid immediately begins to form. The main effects of such injections do not come immediately, but over time, and are long-term in nature. After all, they do not replace the natural processes of synthesis, but increase them, accelerate and stimulate them.
The number of operations and their frequency depends on the severity of the problems and the amount of dehydration of the skin (usually from 1 to 2-3 operations).
Mesotherapy is a similar technique, only small injections of special "cocktails" of biologically active preparations are inserted into the skin, their composition may vary depending on the problem being solved. Mesococktails usually contain vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, plant extracts and other valuable substances. Mesotherapy methods allow you to put all the active ingredients into the skin and help to renew it from within.
Perfect for Plasmolifting Cervical Regeneration. It has long been known that our blood has a powerful resource to restore and heal the body, we just need to activate these possibilities.
As a result, the skin becomes as elastic, dense, toned, radiant as it was in childhood. Wrinkles, folds, age spots and other aesthetic defects disappear.
Laser technology for sensitive areas
Fracture regeneration with the Fraxel laser device can be used as a stand-alone technique for neck regeneration, and perhaps in combination with injections. American Fraxel is a unique device that renews human skin and rids it of all defects. A thin (thinner than human hair) laser beam creates thousands of micro-effects (micro-heat treatment areas) on every inch of the skin. In these micro-areas, old and defective collagen and excess pigment are destroyed. At the same time, many viable cells are left around each micro-area of exposure, which are activated under the influence of heat. During this process, which can take from several hours to several days, flawless skin appears on the spot in each micro-area.
A unique feature of Fraxel is that the laser does not destroy the top - corner layer - of the epidermis. Therefore, after the operation, the skin looks natural.
After the laser fracture replacement procedure, the structure of the skin changes. It becomes smoother, hydrated, elastic, less prone to inflammation and rashes. It will be easier to take care of her at home.
The partial solvent works on the skin in a sensitive way, but the number of operations depends on the initial data and the problem being solved. One operation per year is enough for someone and someone may need 3-5 operations.
The result, namely young beautiful skin, can last for a long time.
Ultrasound for neck lift without surgery
Unlike laser technology, which can only be used during the period of least solar activity (ie autumn, winter and early spring), modern ultrasound technology is suitable for use all season.
And they are comparable to the effect of a surgical lift, which, as you know, not only reduces stretched skin but also muscles.
A non-surgical option for neck lift at the muscular level (at the SMAS level) is the famous Altera Therapy, which is performed on the American Ulthera system.
The device is based on a concentrated ultrasound, which can penetrate under the skin at a depth of 6 - 8 mm, first reduces collagen fibers there and gives a lifting effect and then begins the formation of young collagen. In this case, the surface of the skin is not damaged. About a week after Altera treatment, the synthesis of type III collagen (also called young collagen) increases with its subsequent conversion to type I collagen, not only in the surrounding areas where the heat is exposed, but also below them.
This results in the effect of non-surgical implants without damaging the surface of the skin. The maximum effect occurs 3 months after the operation.
A unique additional benefit of using ultrasound for skin rejuvenation is the ability to see the skin and subcutaneous tissue directly in real time, which increases the safety of the treatment.
As with skin expansion surgery, one exposure is sufficient. The result obtained lasts for 1, 5 to 3 years or longer, depending on the individual characteristics of the body.
Thread technology to renew the neck
Elderly patients are advised to perform ultrasound lifting with wire technology. Use of self-absorbing threads. Other threads are used to correct the chin line.
All of these threads have a notch and once they enter the skin, in addition to visible tissue narrowing, they also begin a rejuvenating process.
Thus, the combination of ultrasonic and wire lifting will give a powerful double effect on lifting and regeneration.
